seldom to man and his fam

After children have learned

Is the newspaper. Every man
should do justice to his family
by subscribing for a public

Subscribers who are in ar
can avail themselves Of this
offer by paying ar

When you have subscribed for
the SENTINEL AND REPUBLICAN
you are certain in your secure
ment of the county paper that

In this day and generation it
amounts almost to a wrong to

David Davis Signature.

Among President Arthur's papers
there is doubtless a note which he once
received from David Davis which
amused the General very much. 1t
was brief and formal letter, but the
peculiar thing about it was that Mr.
Davis signed his name SO close to the
last line that nothing could have been
written between the lines. Arthur
thought it very unconventional sig
nature, especially as, at a hasty glance,
it might be overlooked. But he learned
that Judge Davis always signed his
name thus to prevent any one from
filling in any thing in the customary
blank space. 1t appeared that when he
was Judge in Illinois, a suit was
brought before him to test the validity
of a note. The ostensible maker adj
mitted the signature was his, but swoEe
he never made the note, and it was de-
veloped ON trial that some rascal had
taken advantage of blank space be-
tween the termination of letter and
the signature to fill in a note of hand,
which he got discounted. The Judge,
who was very cautious man, took a
hint from this, and ever afterward
signed his own name so as to prevent
such improper use of Chicago Her.

was to promote the federation of all
existing Italian societies.; and after
some lively discussion and not with
out considerable opposition, the fol-
lowing order of the day was passed:
"This congress affirms the necessity
and urgency of federation between
the Italian cooperative societies which
shall respect the autonomy of all
separate associations, and appoints
committee to formulate the
statute" Among the letters re-
ceived was one from the venera-
BILE AureIo Safi: Cooperation he
writes, ''harmonizing association and
liberty, is destined to solve in great
part not only social, but moral and po-
litical questions, because the law of de-
velopment of the human faculties is in
timately connected with the co-opera-
ton of individuals for the increase of
the value of the whole community, and
with the mutual guardianship of COM
mon rights insuring the free fulfllment
of common duties. Those who labor
as you do to substitute the ties of CO.
operation in all its aspects for privi-
leges and class distinctions, are laying
the foundation of national associations
on the basis Oh civil equity, uniting
them under the auspices of mutual
justice. Hence cooperation is the first
and safest step towards fraternity and
peace, to be reached by an equal and
free federation of nations. It is true,
as you say, that the peoples ought to
form a vast cooperation of labor and
of reciprocal help, thus divesting civ
ilization of it's last vestiges of barbar-
ism, and developing by progressive
steps all the power of intellect and af-
lection existing in the peoples for the
entertainment of the moral and social
aims of life. ''-Age of Steel.

Throwing the Wedding Shoe

The custom of throwing one OF more
old shoes after the bride and groom
either when they go to church to be
married on when they start on their
wedding journey, is so old that the
memory of man stretches not back to
its beginning. Some think it repre-
sents an assault, and is lingering
trace of the custom among savage ma
tons of carrying away the bride by
violence, others think that it is relic
of the ancient law of exchange or pur-
chase, and that it formerly implied the
surrender by the parents of all domin-
ion or authority over their daughter.
It has a likeness to Jewish custom
mentioned in the Bible. Thus in Deu-
teronomy we read that when the
brother of dead man refused to marry
his widow she asserted her independ-
ence of him by ''loosing his shoe" AL
so in Ruth when the kinsman of Boaz
gave up his claim to the inheritance of
Ruth and to Ruth also, he indicated
his assent by plucking off his shoe, and
giving it to Boaz. 1t was also the GUS
tom of the middle ages to place the
husbands shoe on the head of the nup-
tial couch. in token of his domination.
